The International Hockey League

"This is a league for the masses and not the classes."
---Richard Adler, president of the Atlanta Knights, on the IHL

The Atlanta Knights played in the International Hockey League, which existed from
1946 until its collapse and partial absorption into the American Hockey League in
2001.

Teams of the IHL

The member teams of the IHL changed every season during the Knights' four years.
Teams moved up, down, or out of the minor league hockey system. The IHL had a limited strategic partnership with the NBA, and some IHL owners
were part owners of NBA teams and/or their arenas (for example, the owners of the
Detroit Vipers also owned the NBA Detroit Pistons).
